Nice place to relax. You can see a few famous buildings across from the statue. There are places to sit and during 9am - 1pm it’s quite busy in the park.

This statue is a tribute to Robert Raikes, the founder of the Sunday School movement.
The statue was created by the sculptor Thomas Brock and placed in Victoria Embankment Gardens to mark centenary of the opening of the first Sunday school. As its located in the gardens, it's worth a small detour especially if you're familiar with the concept of Sunday schools, otherwise probably not worth the effort.
